Finally for Sale

Botanical Name: Acer palmatum 'Kiyohime

Common Name: Japanese Maple Murasaki Kiyohime

Story of the Tree

I had admired this tree at Sumigawa's Nursery in Cotati for years and it was always "not for sale." Finally in 2011, it was for sale. It was rather large a about 2 feet tall with lush foliage all over. I took it to a workshop and the teacher convinced me it should become a smaller tree. Earlier this year I transplanted it into this little moon pot that I got from June Nguy. My goals are to continue to create more foliage and improve the apex. The color of the foliage is always fun and the small leafs require a bit of work trimming out unwanted growth.
